Haplogroup P (mtDNA) is a topic that has captured the attention of millions of people around the world. Its importance and relevance both in daily life and in the professional field make it worthy of analysis and reflection. Throughout history, Haplogroup P (mtDNA) has been the subject of debate and controversy, and has evolved according to the needs and demands of society. In this article, we will explore different aspects of Haplogroup P (mtDNA), from its origin to its impact today, as well as analyze its influence in various fields such as politics, economics, culture and technology.
| Haplogroup P | |
|---|---|
| Possible time of origin | 50,000 years[1] |
| Possible place of origin | Southeast Asia |
| Ancestor | R |
| Descendants | 16176, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P9 |
| Defining mutations | 15607[2] |
In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup P is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.
Haplogroup P is a descendant of Haplogroup R.
Today, P is most commonly found in Oceania, especially in Papuans, Melanesians, indigenous Australians,[3] It's 1.4% in mainstream Filipinos but 1.13% in Luzon, 1.78% in Visayas, 1.43% in Mindanao.[4] It is much higher in Sub-Filipinos groups, 6.67% in Bugkalot and 11.2% in Maranao.[5] It was found in the Philippines Negrito Aeta of Bataan at 40%.[6] It is also found in the Malaysians at 0.9%, including Indonesians.
This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup P subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred Kayser Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation[2] and subsequent published research.
